Charming hotel
Our hotel room was comfortable. It was low season during our stay and the hotel was near empty which made our stay very quiet and peaceful. The bed was firm and comfortable, but the in-room furnace was quite noisy and ran all the time (no automatic mode where it would shut down when the room was warm enough). The included breakfast was absolutely fantastic with awesome service! Would highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect Stay.
Excellent stay with the room, the cleanliness, and, the proximity to the University. We were accommodated with the addition of another guest and the cot provided. The dining room staff were excellent as was the ability to order breakfast.

6/10 Good

We've stayed here several times. Usually everything is very solid, especially the excellent breakfast buffet. Our most recent visit wasn't so great - we ended up with an old extremely creaky bed on springs that really ruined our sleep; unsuitable for a hotel room. We probably won't go back, which is a shame.
